I agree with Tamsin about the pacifica leg extenders. I have them and it
has made a tremendous difference in my back problems. I also bought the
seat for the pacifica. When I got it of course it was too short with the
extended legs. I was surprised that when I ordered a pacifica wheel,
extended legs and seat, that they would have assumed I needed the seat to
go with the legs but they didn't. Anyway it was easily fixed by removing
their short pipe and welding on a longer one. I find it difficult to throw
standing up without the seat behind me. Not that I sit on it but I just
rest my butt on the front of the seat for support. I throw alot of fairly
large pieces and need the support to center. Interestingly, when I moved my
wheel into the patio to throw outside for the summer, I decided not to put
the legs on and go back to the standing on your head method. After two
weeks, I had back cramps and pains I had forgotten about. Went back to the
extended legs, and no pain at all. For me it works wonders.
I just finished reading through a friends catalog she just got from Axner,
and they have an interesting leg system in their for a Creative Industry
wheel. Worth investigating I would think. It is height adjustable that
looks like a better system than mine. Mine is really tricky to adjust and
level.
Also will be watching for the new wheel Stephen Jepson is coming up with.

The golden years have come at last, I cannot see, I cannot pee,
I cannot chew, I cannot screw. My memory shrinks, my hearing stinks.
No sense of smell, I look like hell. My body drooping, got trouble pooping.
The golden years have come at last, The golden years can kiss my Ass.
